People in the media who are diagnosed with neurodiversity.

Not one to be won by the celebrity status. I would guess that is more for the kiddo’s which I am not. I am wondering potentially about those who have adjusted to their neurodiversity and are doing quite ok with life most of the time.

For me the judgement on this on this is if they have are living out their talents. They could be in a relationship or not and this is real life and it is desirable for many but not all to do this. So being able to have children if so wanted can be judged as desirable as well. I tend to think if you seek to have children you have been gifted them as you can cope with them. Those who do not, some was not able to cope. This can still be desirable for them.

Just be however you are meant to be with a bit of grace on top. So, which neurodiverse people do think could inspire others and who could look at them and think hey look at them they are autistic and they are doing ok with their life and inspiration perhaps with some and a good kick up well to some as well. This could inspire people to do different things from education to etc so that is why I posted it in this section.

Go with it

Funny they definetly appear to be doing ok and living out their dreams with nature which I like. No idea about their idea about their personal and no interest either. Chris Packman media celebrity who is diagnosed with autism. Works in the arts in nature filming and making programmes who is autistic, his levels are unknown to me. You might assume high functioning but it can be mixed. I have no idea.

A new one to me as I was watching he appeared as socially able as the presenter. Rav Wilding is diagnosed with autism it was said on the tv recently. I was watching the tv and he said he was diagnosed by a Cambridge team.

Christine McGuiness she has had a tough ride of things but she is living out her life, has children who are on the spectrum and doing her best as a mother. She is certainly a very sensitive soul for sure, bless her.

Hugo Ross, no nothing about him personally. He is a Christian and a scientist and I read old school Aspergers which is today what we all know, high functioning autism pretty much. He is passionate about his science interest and writing about his faith. This fits my definition.

Melanie Skyes is someone who is diagnosed with autism and has lived out some of her desires surely as well.

I don’t know of anyone with a confirmed diagnosis.

Do you?

I would like to see more level 2 and 3 people living enriched lives in this post as well.

The author, Charles Stross who writes the Lovecraftian urban fantasy series "The Laundry Files," is self-diagnosed.

In the just published "A Conventional Boy," the main character is autistic (Aspie type), and the hero.

A lot of authors, musicians, and other artists are on the spectrum. I like it when they "come out of the closet" and show the world what they can do.
